One of my favorite stories in this hot, fun, super-sexy collection! 👇👇👇
It's time to remind you that I wrote a Road House remix! This queer polyam small-town romance is just one of the fun, sexy stories in my Prem Numbers collection. Yes, the FMC's name is Lovely. And one MMC is named Elliott, because why be subtle?

The money is there. There are contingency funds. Trump is simply not releasing it because he wants people to starve and blame Democrats even though Republicans hold both chambers of Congress and the White House. And the media will happily go along.
In the 60-year history of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, it’s never run out of money. Here are the states suing the federal government over it.

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets.

Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away.

We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

(As you read this, imagine a line delivery so serious and dramatic that it verges on camp.)

8yo: *contemplatively* When I play with my Legos, I feel like a god. Like, to me, it’s a game, but to my mini figs? *shakes head, raises eyebrows knowingly* It’s life and death.

My 8yo cried tonight at bedtime because I joked that since he doesn’t like to clean, he’ll need to make enough money someday to hire a housekeeper.

“I don’t want to have to get a job! I don’t like thinking about the future!”

I mean, same, but
Today my 6 year old cried because I told them we couldn’t bring their cat to kindergarten graduation 😂
One time my toddler cried because his “ice was too cold.”

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs:

2. I have a good vehicle
3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love

So, did Megyn Kelly not watch Little House on the Prairie, or did she not get it? Either way, Melissa Gilbert sets her straight.

Stop saying "woke" like it's a disease. Caring about others and addressing society's issues with respect? That's Ma and Pa Ingalls to the core.
